O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

Wahoo, the day after Thanksgiving means driving out to the forest to cut a Christmas tree. Our tree came pre-flocked this year! Unfortunately, all the flocking melted away by the time we drove home.

Here's Merril, ready to attack the tree. He made that saw in middle school shop. Used it ever since.

Maxine was eating snow, of course. No matter how many times I tell my kids not to eat the snow, they never listen.

Juliet got to ride around on my back. She looks like she's having fun. I needed some exercise from all the pie eating so we were both happy.

We brought a ton of snow gear and the kids had a blast playing and rolling in the snow.

Max was helping Jack out of the forest.

Here's Merril dragging our tree to the truck.

And of course, a little hot chocolate brings a lot of happiness at the end of the day.

And on a side note, we got another goldfish. There's only one but the reflection off the tank makes it look like there's two fish in there..)

There were some branches leftover so I 'made'a tree for the kids' room. It's kind of goofy looking but I'll post pictures later. Merry Christmas!
